The Google Pixel 4 is discontinued, but Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo have each apparently left enough stock to launch a coordinated sale, causing the 64GB and 128GB models to drop $ 250 each from their original prices. Both Best Buy and B&H Photo have the unlocked Pixel 4 with 64GB of storage in “plain black” and “clear white” for $ 549. Amazon currently only offers the deal for the black phone. For $ 100 more you can get the 128 GB model. Unfortunately, the larger Pixel 4 XL is not in the loop here.
The best deal we saw for the smaller Pixel 4 model was in April when it dropped to $ 499. You can technically get that price on Best Buy right now – but only if you are ready to activate the phone with a carrier if you buy these. If you are looking for the best value and most choice, then go to B&H Photo, where the phone comes free with a transparent case. It’s nothing fancy, but having a case to put the Pixel 4 right out of the box is what people might want to do.
Google stopped the Pixel 4 just days after announcing the Pixel 4A, a $ 349 phone that is now available for pre-order and will be released on August 20th. Instead of matching the Pixel 4’s high-end Snapdragon 855 processor and its gimmicky Motion Sense feature for hand-held navigation, the Pixel 4A narrows its focus to lowering the entry price for getting Google’s great camera and software. Not only is raw power still a good reason to choose the Pixel 4 over the 4A, but the more expensive device has wireless charging, water resistance and a fast display for refresh rates.
